Trump appointed Bill Pulte the acting director of National Intelligence (DNI) to replace Tulsi Gabbard. The law that created the DNI position specifies that the nominee “shall have extensive national security expertise.” Pulte lacks any expertise, let alone extensive experience, which one might think a president would want at a time of international tension and outright war. But he is loyal to Trump, which, apparently, is the only criterion that matters here. Trump is back to using “acting” officials to skirt requirements for confirmation and qualification.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.
This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial.
